I've actually seen this episode and in addition wasn't the penetrating part of the missile at least partially hollow. If I remember correctly they disarmed the weapon by yanking out some kind of a doodad from the missile. One of two in fact and if they had picked the wrong one then BOOM!!Stark wrote:Dude it's a CRYSTAL look at it! Crystals, as you know, have bizarre and special properties allowing them to do virtually anything!
The best part for me is that the crystal is BLUNT. Best penetrator ever, and the internal luminence makes it seem quite low mass too. Low mass, low speed, blunt...
One could argue the missile accelerated rapidly during the last 50m before impact giving it enough velocity to punch through, like Stark suggested. But when it comes to ST I'm not all that convinced.
So on that note it obviously a crystalline magneto resonation particle torpedo with a quantum nano warhead. And ST meters in ST space are of course bigger and better than EEVIL warsie meters. So the missile was in fact traveling faster than the Millenium Falcon.....
